kscarbel2 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Owner-Driver / August 29, 2018 We take you for a walk-around tour of the iconic Kenworth Dealer Hall of Fame in Alice Springs, with more than 25 of the brand’s most memorable trucks on offer. From Australia’s first locally-built K125CR ‘Grey Ghost’, to the new Legend 900, and even the lesser-known T2000, the museum really does have a Kenny for everyone. After an expansion in 2015 the whopping 4,000sqm display was named the JJ Hurley Pavilion, after the industry great and former Brown and Hurley Group managing director was inducted onto the Shell Rimula Wall of Fame. As well as the various trucks and engines on show, the museum also exhibits a rich historical overview of the Kenworth story down under. It’s certainly a special place and one every truck enthusiast should visit at least once!

Brocky Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks Ken.. It is in the works!! ATHS and travel agent Stephanie Anton, santon@cruiseplanners.com , are working on working on another Down Under Tour to the Truckie's Reunion at Alice Springs in 2020. Stephanie did an excellent job of putting together the two week 2015 Tour which not only was the Hall of Fame in Alice Springs but included many normal tourist sites as well as the Tony Champion Mack Collection and 4 more private collections in the Melbourne area. My report on the whole trip is here: http://forums.justoldtrucks.com/84264/Down-Under-Trip If anyone is interested in going contact Stephanie to get on her mailing list.
